I would have kept either Brown or Stevens in and Dropped Mcginnity.
Paddy inaccurate kicking will be dangerous for us v Hawks.
They Rebound superbly and If we are not on target we will get pumped.

Happy with ins, i also imagine they kept mcginnity in to run with rioli?

Where?

If Cyril is forward, we don't want McGinnity anywhere near him.

I'm surprised McGinnity was retained. He didn't play first 2 rounds and did nothing of note in garbage time last week ...

He is effectively the replacement for Embley at this point ... Which hardly seems "like for like"
 
So far Embley has carved up a tired Dogs side in the last quarter and done his shoulder in the first quarter the next game, so not much overall.

McGinnity will probably be sub again this week, hopefully to use his speed in the last quarter when the Hawks are tiring. Rosa, Gaff, and maybe Masten/Smith will pick up some of the work Embley would normally do.
 
would have liked Stevens to get another run and send magginnity to wafl to get his fitness up .I know Stevens made a few errors but he is better than that and needs to keep getting games pumped into him ,like guys like Magginity,Swift and Masten got when they were`nt playing well .
 
Interesting that Jackie D is the last name on the bench. Wonder if he's a potential sub?

Means nothing.

A high percentage of subs were part of the 18 named on the field, and same goes with subs being derived from the named bench not always being last.

Darling may still be sub anyway, he was a bit quiet last game.

Hammer (the player, not the Polo Gameday host) should be the sub. McGinnity's bad kicking has been less evident since midway last year. Definitely a run with for Cyril, that's what I would hope. Always confused when they play him as the sub, sure he's one of our more 'utility' style players in our 25, but it always seems like a waste of someone who plays with a genuine want for the pill.
 
So are we, Franklin CHF, Roughead FF, Gunston HF and Hale the floating inside 50 ruckmen. ;)

Wasn't commenting on the Hawks at all, pretty sure he was saying why sub JD when we're clearly going to stretch the Hawks D. Equivalent of you suggesting that Hale or Roughy would be a poor sub choice.

We get away with the floating ruckman because we have two. How you expect Hale to be the floating ruckman inside 50 while also being solo ruck has got me stuffed. You can say Roughead will take turns rucking but this still means one tall goes out of the 50.
